Great heat in winter and hot water year round
Responsive management
Minimal noise most of the time
Clean
I saw two dead American cockroaches (the ones that wander in from outside, not the invasive German cockroaches) and a few house centipedes in one year. No other bugs. So, good pest management.

It is a fine place to live. I would live there again if my budget was more limited.

Extremely hot and humid during summer, with no airflow due to add-on walls and no good place for a window AC unit in the living space. I put an AC unit in the bedroom and spent most of the summer in that room. Not sure if fans would be enough for the living space.

My bathroom stayed humid and I had problems with pink/orange bacteria growing on my shower curtain liner. My new place does not have this problem despite similar usage. I blame the bad airflow.

The super was helpful and nice, but not organized and not able to solve some simple maintenance tasks.

The noise isolation is not great. It was usually fine since my neighbors were quiet. Occasionally I would hear one side of people’s phone conversations. People in a neighboring building hosted loud parties occasionally on Fridays or Saturdays that ended around 12:00 am. It was not a big disturbance for me and not every weekend.

My refrigerator flickered off and back on periodically. Probably due to bad electrical wiring in the building. Could be a problem if you try to run an AC in the kitchen/living space.

Cheap/not well maintained finishes. Doors scraping the floor, closet doors not opening smoothly. Plastic toilet handle. Mismatched bathroom faucet.

Nice quiet neighbors and responsive management.

Super is not as responsive
Building could be cleaner
Heat is not on as of 10/15

Good location, good responsive super, and management company

Sometimes the common area wasn't super clean

keep keeping up

Great location, friendly/helpful super, clean, quiet, so many things!

Not much to complain about - it might get a little noisy on the weekends but that’s expected for the area.

Elevator, laundry, trash chute

Unresponsive landlord, super is not helpful/rude, constant mice issues

Elevator
Martin is great and responsive
Absolutely best location in east village
Full gas stove and dishwasher
Laundry in building
Nice view of freedom tower in bedroom

Honestly there was a mice problem when we first moved in but we got it settled!

Responsive landlord and super helpful super

Had a mice infestation, but owners were very helpful in resolving it

Beautiful building, and our super kept it up nicely in common spaces. Loved the elevator, and the shape of the apartment space.

We did struggle with pests (mice) and it was super hard to get a comprehensive response from the building.
We also had a super difficult time with the owner - when we were working on renewing, our security deposit didn't arrive to her on time in the mail, and she was pretty threatening to us about it when it was just a slow moment with USPS.

Take mice seriously, and don't threaten your tenants with homelessness

The opening has an amazing greenhouse and the super cares about the plants. The super is generally good at being responsive too. The building has a lot of character and everyone if very friendly in the building.

Definitely has mice problem. Had issues with flies and ants as well. An older building so random faucets or lights will stop working all the time. Property management company is hard to deal with.

liked my neighbors

no heat all winter tons of roaches

fix the heat

elevator was great (if it was not broken)
never hugely messy
very updated apartments with great appliances, beautiful kitchen

the amount of pests
the garbage room was a disaster a lot of the time I was there -- bugs flying everywhere, really disgusting
didn't feel safe going home at night
not a lot of cameras/etc

The building is in a great location with access to east village

Mouse problem in the building

Apartment has great location, nice bedroom sizes, strong water pressure + garbage disposals, and tenant-controlled central air and heating. Also has laundry in building and an elevator

Building has a history of pests--known mice infestations in 2020, 2021, and 2023. Exterminator visits 2x per month but not effective, and management is unresponsive. Rent is high. Packages get stolen from the lobby regularly. Appliances and hallways could use updating

Elevator building in the East village with laundry in building and a great lobby. The super is very responsive and helpful - have loved living here

Building just took measures to help moderate the building controlled heat/ac, but previously was a problem. no doorman, so packages have been stolen

Heat and hot water, no rats, no roaches, great water pressure, no bed bugs

Sometimes can be a bit noisy

The apartment corridor light on the first floor needs to be replaced since the past 3 months

Halls are cleaned monthly, everyone in the building keeps everything fairly clean though

Good heat.

Super responds back within 24 hours

Can barely hear neighbors

Big Cockroaches. Even up on the fifth floor I’ve had issues with them being in the apt in any room.

Water pressure could be better but gets the job done

More roach traps and better water pressure

Close to L Train, close to schools, great food options

Super was unresponsive or would sometimes completely ignore you. Would only respond to you if you got management directly involved. Neighbors got loud on weekends, and had a bad roach problem during the summer. Sound carried a lot throughout the halls and could hear people sneezing or yelling from the inside of your apartment.

The super needs to be more responsive. It's really difficult to get a hold of him in emergencies, sometimes wouldn't even be in the city.

stainless steel appliances, lots of storage

Dirty, no natural light, surrounding area has become extremely unsafe

Upgrade the buzzer system

Fairly quiet. Responsive super

Roaches in summer. Package theft

No noise, quiet street. Neighbors are respectful.

Could be better maintained and cleaned. Very little natural light.

No specific advice.
